   <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
   <P>See <SPAN><SPAN>jigdo-file</SPAN>(1)</SPAN> for an introduction to
    Jigsaw Download.</P>
   <P>Given the URL of a `<TT>.jigdo</TT>' file, <B>jigdo-lite</B>
    downloads the large file (e.g. a CD image) that has been made available
    through that URL. <SPAN><SPAN>wget</SPAN>(1)</SPAN> is used to download
    the necessary pieces of administrative data (contained in the `<TT
    >.jigdo</TT>' file and a corresponding `<TT>.template</TT>' file) as
    well as the many pieces that the large file is made from. The <SPAN
    ><SPAN>jigdo-file</SPAN>(1)</SPAN> utility is used to reconstruct the
    large file from the pieces.</P>
   <P>`<TT>.jigdo</TT>' files that contain references to Debian mirrors are
    treated specially: When such a file is recognized, you are asked to
    select one mirror out of a list of all Debian mirrors.</P>
   <P>If <CODE>URL</CODE> is not given on the command line, the script
    prompts for a location to download the `<TT>.jigdo</TT>' file from. The
    following command line options are recognized:</P>

      <P>Do not ask any questions, instead behave as if the user had
       pressed Return at all prompts. This can be useful when running <B
       >jigdo-lite</B> from cron jobs or in other non-interactive
       environments.</P></DD></DL></DIV></DIV>
